C++ Concurrency In Action

This document contains the notes, musings, and thoughts generated during my reading of "C++ Concurrency in Action" by Anthony Williams. The notes were taken primarily to encourage a thorough reading of the book and to help me recall the most important tidbits from the book upon a rereading of my notes. I can imagine the notes may be helpful to more than just me, so I am making them publicly available. A concurrent programming novice, I cannot guarantee my notes are entirely correct, or even sensical at times. If you ever encounter a mistake, please contact me at mjw297@cornell.edu.

Index

• doc Doxygen documentation for code in /src.
